The United States Department of Agriculture announced on Friday that the country will initiate a phased reopening of its southern cattle ports starting next month. The livestock ports were initially closed in May following the detection of a New World Screwworm outbreak.
As part of the phased reopening plan, the USDA will resume operations at the livestock port located in Douglas, Arizona. The closures had halted cattle imports from Mexico as a precautionary measure to contain the parasite.
